Gunmen, on Thursday, attacked a police checkpoint along the Abakaliki-Enugu Highway and set a police patrol van belonging on fire.
Our correspondent gathered that the incident happened at the
Ishieke Junction on the outskirts of Abakaliki metropolis.
Sources in the area said the gunmen killed one policeman and
abducted another, but this could not be independently verified as of the time
of filing this report.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joshua Ukandu, confirmed the attack.
He, however, denied knowledge of the killing or abduction of
any police officer saying reports from the scene were still sketchy.
He said, “An incident happened this morning, but I am still
trying to put the details.
“At this point, I can’t confirm much. Let me get my facts
right.
“I just got information that there was an attack at that
point, but I don’t have any other information.”
